Abstract

Improved upper and lower bounds of the counting functions of the conceivable additive decomposition sets of the set of primes are established. Suppose that where, ℝ′ differs from the set of primes in finitely many elements only and .

It is shown that the counting functions A(x) of ℐ and B(x) of ℬ for sufficiently large x, satisfy
